Kelley, Ph.D., a California licensed psychologist whose work centers on non-medication, non-invasive approaches to anxiety, stress, depression, ADD, ADHD, insomnia, pain, brain injury, autism, and relationship concerns. Patients include both children and adults. Dr. Kelley earned three degrees from the University of Arizona in Tucson: a B.A. in Psychology in 1970, an M.A. in Psychology in 1973, and a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology in 1974, followed by an internship at the Veterans Administration Hospital in Salt Lake City from 1973 to 1974.

Services offered at the practice include biofeedback, neurofeedback, QEEG, Cogmed Working Memory Training, and counseling from a social learning, cognitive-behavioral, and physiological perspective. Mobile services are also available, bringing counseling, biofeedback, and other sessions to a confidential location chosen by the client. Thirty-five years of clinical work are cited on the practice's website. The practice is located on N Kraemer Boulevard, a short distance from South Kraemer Boulevard, about a tenth of a mile from Placentia City Hall and Placentia Library, roughly four-tenths of a mile from John O. Tynes Elementary School, and about the same distance from Richard Samp Park.
